Reactive astrogliosis and early synaptic degeneration are 2 characteristic hallmarks in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains, but a direct link between the 2 events has not been established. Here, we show that cancerous inhibitor of PP2A (CIP2A), a cancerous protein with high expression level in astrocytes, is upregulated in patients with AD and 3xTg-AD transgenic mice. Overexpression of CIP2A in astrocytes through adeno-associated virus infection both in cultured cells and in mice brains results in ...[more]
